Chapter 8 Shaohua

Bai Yi and Hou Cong are the two strong greens in the group. They got up from the front yard, passed through a small courtyard, and went to the place where Hou Cong lived. The girls who were feeding the birds and watering the flowers next to them, wearing new spring clothes, looked at the white clothes curiously, giggling, and blessed one by one. After the study and flower hall, it is a cross-courtyard verandah. Pushing open a small Zhu door, it is Hou Cong's courtyard. Qing Song followed the group in. There are two white butterflies flying in the yard, and the camellia flowers are blooming for the first time, and the fragrance is fragrant. The wings are on the west side, and there are only four main rooms. The cobblestone path, starting from the courtyard gate, in the camellia forest, winds and turns, and leads through. Bai Yi paid a slight attention and found that there were only camellia flowers in this yard. This kind of flower is very rare in the north, and it is difficult to feed, I don't know if Hou Cong takes care of it himself, or if the people under him are diligent and intelligent.

Hou Dagongzi stopped in front of the main entrance, did not discuss with anyone, turned directly to the wing, and looked in with the open door, clean and simple, a big kang against the wall, covered with an earthy blue mattress, stacked with an earthy blue quilt.

"See? Where the judges live. ”

Changkong and Mo Chang glanced at each other - knowing that there would be a dismount after coming, they didn't expect to start with the accommodation conditions first.

"Five big men, do you want a kang?" Changkong was the first to raise his grievances.

Hou Cong let out an "oh" and pointed to another door in a row of side rooms, "There is another one there." In this way, my three Mao live in this room, you and His Royal Highness live in another room, and the accommodation standard of the two of you is better than that of Da Mao, Ermao and Sanmao. You shut up first, don't be in a hurry to ramble, everything that bathes, changes, eats, drinks, and sleeps can be summoned at any time, anyway, it is not you who play binding and killing. As for supplies, in addition to sending someone back to their homes to pick them up, they can also use them casually. Hou Cong admired Changkong's expression, "If you don't want to be a referee, you can quit, if you want to do it, it's just such a condition." ”

"Hmph." This is the answer of the sky.

Hou Cong approached him, because he was half a head taller than him, he could look down, "Don't hum, not only Yuwen Baiyi is my soldier, but you are too." Not only am I going to play the Bondage Challenge with her, but I'm also going to start training you. ”

"Humph!"

Changkong's jaw was pinched by Hou Cong.

Hou Cong's voice sounded terrible: "Stop saying this word, and when you hear my command in the future, you have to say yes." Da Mao, two hairs and three Mao, show him this. ”

Murong Xing, Dugu Zheng, and Yuan Youqi shouted in unison: "Yes! ”

"Sister! Sister save me! Changkong was coquettish with a crying voice, thinking in his heart: A few girls just now had a good appearance, did they come over? Do you see yourself looking foreign now?

Bai Yi actually sighed, "Brother, you should have been in charge of such a person a long time ago." ”

Mo Chang laughed, Changkong felt that he couldn't make a profit in this round, the hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, and promised a "yes" word, only to be let go by Hou Cong, only to feel that his cheeks were sore. Hou Cong no longer looked at him more, but looked at Bai Yi, "You will do the same in the future, you know?" ”

"Yes." Bai Yi said.

The voice dissolved in the spring light. Hao Shaohua is such a year, the quiet surroundings suddenly changed, the birds and flowers started to move, and the yard was full of vivid colors.

Hou Cong raised his steps lightly and took the lead into his room, followed by Bai Yi, and the others followed Bai Yi and entered together. In the spacious living room, there is a sword called "Cutting the Moon" hanging on the wall, black lacquered tables and chairs, screens, and the floor is dark green slats. Looking to the right, the door is not closed, and there are bookcases on three walls, filled with books. Hou Cong personally lifted the old red half curtain on the left, and a wisp of fragrance floated out - it was the night of the first meeting, he refused to compete with Bai Yi, and when he passed by Bai Yi's side, Bai Yi smelled the smell. He stood by the door and made a gesture to let everyone in.

The house was also very spacious, with a forest of tables and chairs, an incense burner in the corner, a low collapse by the window, and two half-old futons embroidered with earthy yellow flowers on a blue background by the other window. This room should be the place where Hou Cong usually spends himself alone or treats people. He then walked inside, saying, "The white clothes can stop and check at will, in case some of them have hidden ropes somewhere." ”

Bai Yi didn't make a sound, and continued to move forward, it was an old red curtain again, but it was not a half curtain, but a whole cover, and there were tassels of the same color underneath, and Changkong laughed out loud, "Eldest son, are you a doll?" Is there a sleeping god embroidered on the face of the door? ”

Only then did Bai Yi notice that there was gold thread embroidery on the old red door curtain, and when he looked closely, he looked like a certain Buddha or Arhat. Hou Cong lowered the curtain that had just been raised, "Yuwen is in the sky, and you are not allowed to be disobedient, discuss, or ridicule your boss." ”

"That's it."

"Nope."

"Yes!"

Changkong is another defeat. He was a little depressed, but he was really curious about Hou Cong's bedroom, so he cheered up. Hou Cong opened the curtain again, and everyone entered the bedroom together. A large brown and black intricately carved stepping bed, the same old red curtains hooked by gold hooks, and the bed was a reddish-brown futon. On the opposite side of the bed, there is a row of four large elm wardrobes, and on the wall next to it hangs a pair of "Hanmei Pictures". A low table in front of it is a golden duck-shaped incense burner. Wisps of faint smoke slowly rose. Mo Chang has a lot of knowledge of expensive spices and preparation methods, but he can't smell why the aroma of Hou Cong's room is so special.

"Ask General Xiaohou, the incense to ward off evil spirits is not rare, it is generally matched with the incense of the cold and the golden phoenix, its fragrance stays fragrant for a long time, and it is warm and warm, the aroma in General Xiaohou's room - and the aroma of smoked clothes on weekdays, but it seems to be a little more cold, what is the secret method?"

Hou Cong looked at Mo Chang, a little proud. "I can't say, Your Highness guessed slowly, anyway, you are a guest in my house, and no one will stop you wherever you go."

Mo Chang smiled and accepted the challenge. Bai Yi didn't know anything about this, he saw Hou Cong's gaze move to him, and seized the opportunity to ask: "Binding and killing, when will it start?" ”

This girl is in a hurry. But - I can win, I must win!

Hou Cong is full of confidence. "Qingsong, when is it?"

"Back to the eldest prince, it's just past three o'clock."

"Yuwen Baiyi, you don't have a title yet. I will make you the captain of the Furui. ”

"Wait," Changkong interrupted, "do you have any official position?" ”

"One more word and drag it out." Hou Cong was impatient.

"Yes."

Bai Yi realized that he had a military rank, and hurriedly squatted down to salute and thank him.

Hou Cong gave her a hand, let her get up, and continued to command, "Qingsong, serve tea, serve fruits, the challenge of binding and killing between Hou Cong, the general of the military guard of this dynasty, and Yuwen Baiyi, the captain of Furui, is now officially started!" Three days later, three hours later! ”

Qing Song exited the room and went busy. Bai Yi and the others followed Hou Cong back to the hall again, and the group watched Hou Cong act, he sat down, and everyone sat down, so Bai Yi also sat down - next to Changkong.

"No," Yuan questioned again, "Miss Yuwen can't sit on the referee's side, she has to sit next to the enemy who challenges you." Bai Yi was a little stupid, thinking that this was indeed the case, stood up and walked to Hou Cong's side - there was a walking chair against the wall, Hou Cong had already picked a table to sit down, and Bai Yi sat down next to him.

Hou Cong only felt that the side next to the white clothes tightened, and Qingsong took the people to serve tea and fruits. Hou Cong couldn't help but sniff - Bai Yi didn't seem to smoke incense, because he couldn't smell any spices, and the burning smell of the incense making process. So, now this lingering aroma is the taste of her body? Hou Cong ordered himself to look at his nose and nose and his heart, and not to continue to explore and imagine.

Hou Cong didn't speak, and Bai Yi didn't say anything, they were two indifferent and indifferent people, although they looked very beautiful sitting together, they were as quiet as a deep well.

Changkong first noticed the fabric on Dugu Zheng's body, "Wonderful, this is the latest trick of yours." Where to buy it? It looks extra good against your complexion. And it looks like this trim is extremely plain, but it is durable, and the embroidery is good, where is it made? ”

Dugu Zheng talked about clothing and shopping, and immediately let go of his usual hostility towards Changkong, and was particularly patient with his series of questions, "This is the goods of Boss Xie's family on the three-story building in the twentieth place on the left after entering Gao Bo Street." ”

"Boss Xie, I know I know. I also frequent it. Not only is the material good at his house, but the small snacks he sends are also satisfactory. But I just went a few days ago, why didn't I see it? ”

Dugu Zheng became more and more proud, "This is not much!" Only regular customers can see it! If you buy too much at his house, he will pick up new items for you. As for the embroidery, this is the craftsmanship of the girl at the bottom of Yinpan Alley and the night girl of Zhijunlou, but you can't buy it! ”

"Hahahahaha", several referees laughed harmoniously, what about tea and fruits, so they were no longer cramped. Yuan praised the steamed fish in Zhijunlou again, but Changkong said that the salted plums there were the most delicious. Although Murong Xing didn't speak, his smile was soothing and ambiguous, obviously blending into that atmosphere.

Mo Chang is not lagging behind, he has just had freedom of movement for only a day or two, speaking of Datong's eating, drinking, and playing gold, silver and bronze Qinglou women, there are a few treasures, and put forward "the pipa of the girl in the flower building by the Shuixi Bridge, and the dance posture of the girl in the rain in Qingjianglou can be called a double masterpiece", and he was immediately moved by Changkong to snatch his hands and hold them tightly, leading him to be a confidant.

Bai Yi heard so much, and repeatedly wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. She really rarely goes out, and she finds that there are too many things in the outside world that she has never seen or heard of. In a few days, they will go south with these people, obviously they are all soldiers under Hou Cong, and they will face danger and fight side by side. However, compared to them, I seem to be a lonely monster, how can this be good?

It's just that Hou Cong hasn't paid attention to these subordinates and henchmen over the years, and what they want to do when they are not being called around by themselves. All this in front of him made him incomprehensible and lonely, and he felt that he was excluded.

Two clumsy people, opposite the lively and chatty of others, invariably glanced at each other.
